I am lynx because a lynx is a nice balance. Not as muscle bound and slow as a tiger, not as hyper and insubstantial as a cheetah, not as helpless as a house cat.

Also a lynx has no interest in attacking humans. They are far too big to carry off and they smell bad too, mostly like the chemicals they put on themselves. If you walk through the woods and a lynx is in the neighborhood, you usually won't even know he is there. He would much rather stay in his tree, completely motionless, and wait until you trample on through.
I was offered a zoo director position by someone who had a Lynx as his house cat.
It was a beautiful creature. I got to pet it too. The owner wanted one for years, but not in the zoo. The only complaint was that it destroyed tens of thousands of dollars of his taxidermy shortly after buying it. 😄 It attacked and shredded all those expensive stuffed animals. Lol,!

My username is derived from the following portion of scripture:

"For whether we are beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we are sober, it is for your cause. For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again." (II Corinthians 5:13-15)

Initially, my username was simply "Live4Him". It's now "Live4Him3" because I left this forum twice, and this is now my third time through here.

As far as my profile picture is concerned, that is probably my most favorite photo that I've ever seen in my entire life. Every time that I look at it, it reminds me of the following portion of scripture which is also my signature verse:

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10)

In other words, in my mind, I see the bear taking pause or "being stilled" as he is captivated by the Majesty and Glory of God.
Amen!

Grace: the name my parents gave me which I didn't like when I was a kid but now I love it. Especially here in Spain, no one is Grace!
0301: day and month of my birthday, nothing too creative :LOL:

my avatar: a picture of me a year ago. Maybe I should change it to a more recent one lol

"For by Grace are you saved through faith."

God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense

One definition.
Grace is the kindness God shows through the Sacrifice of His Son on our behalf. It is neither earned nor deserved.

A short blessing about one of my favorite words in the Bible.

Yes, that’s why I now love my name. It’s basically my life described in one word. Looking back at my life before Christ I know it’s just been the grace of God. being called that everyday makes me feel lucky.

I chose seed_time_harvest because It describes how faith Is.
Mark 4:26-29
King James Version
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

My signature means a person that has just gotten saved might be looking at the physical man In a mirror and saying that the bible says I’m now like JESUS but JESUS IS perfect and I don’t see any changes In my body but the bible Is about the spiritual which Is on the Inside So then by HIS stripes we are healed Is talking about salvation FIRST and then physical healing according to your faith and GODs will.

pretty please. Otherwise have a lovely day. Is this a Christian topic? probably not but your answers may be. I will go first to encourage you lot to respond.
I chose TheNarrowPath because it scares me to wander off that back to that wide path when Im not paying attention to God. I got bored with my pic so changed it to something that catches my eye eg I took that pic today, there were flowers for sale and it reminded me of my toddler, stopping every few feet to pick wild flowers for me on our walks. I dont have a signature because I dont know how to do that yet.
Just to add that I finally made myself a signature thanks Magenta! and I chose it because I love being and working with children :)

Christian, because I want to be known as a Christ follower. Tony, because whenever the longer version of my first name Anthony was ever used it usually meant I was in trouble. B, is the initial of my surname. My photo is recent and real, I don't have any problem being seen as old and not good looking, I won't cover that fact up. I am who I am, and in my opinion it's not much use imagining otherwise, sooner or later I will be found out! 🙂

Tony, if I may, I don't think you look old in your picture - you look distinguished.

I see a lot of faces here on CC that look like they have been blessed with a lot of life experience to share, and that is a beautiful thing.

It's always refreshing to see people who are willing to post recent, untouched photos

Kudos to you!

I am using Gandalf the white because I was Gandalf before and when I tried to log in my account was gone... poof... so I registered as Gandalf the white :) Gandalf was my nickname in our res when I was at university.

My profile pic is a warning that Christ will return soon and we will hear the sofar.

My signature is one of my favorite quotes from our pastor.

That's so kind of you SS. Yes, I'm well weathered 😅 (battered by a cyclone or three 🙄).

But you've been through your share of battles, and you look alright. 😊. I think I've been dudded somewhere along the way 😠

Hey, there's a song written about you, but I suspect they got some of the lyrics wrong. You're a celebrity!

I accidentally concatenated two replies. What I was meaning to say, was:
Instead of lounging around in trees or elsewhere dropping hair all the while, how about cleaning out your litter tray and maybe help around the house with some cleaning, or do some weeding in the garden or something!

Oh, how crass of me. I forgot, menial tasks are for two-legged slaves, not for four-legged royalty 🤨

Litter tray? Only house cats use a litter tray. Real felines have a spot out in the woods, and nobody ever sees them go to or come from there.

As for the rest: Lynx are short-hair so don't worry about the shedding. Weeds are better for hiding in, so we are naturally inclined to let those stand. And what cleaning is needed for a tree branch?
